A CARD.

'The right man in the right place" is an
old saying, and very true one; yet, in making
our selections for men TO fill Offices, we often
make mistakes, and get the wrong man and
will work wrong for the community, but the
right man will work good for those by his
office he is called to work for, and such is
the man We selected last fall, in the person of
Burget McConnaughy of Bridgeport, as director
of Belmont county infirmary-a man of age
and great experience in dealing with human
nature-a man of genial and pleasant manners;
considers we'll what is right and wrong; slowly
and deliberately makes up his mind as to what
is right; is free and prompt in declaring it, and
then is as firm as q rock, and never afraid to
express his opinion, and his opinion is generally
correct. This trait of investigating and ex-
pressing his opinion publicly, as he occupies
his seat among the board of infrmary directors,
is in striking contrast with former custom,
which was to hear a case brought before them
for adjudication, however small, then the board
would withdraw to some other part of the house
to consult and decide, then return to the office
and make known the verdict, and thus avoid
the interested party knowing each persons
decision; but not so with Mr.. McConnaughy,
who has over two hundred pounds of avoridupois,
with well developed abdomen, bald head
and brilliant eyes, sets in his Office chair, and
what he has to say he courteously but firmly
saws it right there.
In conclusion, we may say from the interest
he take in the care of the poor, the government
of the house and farm, and the dispensing of
the peoples funds, we surely have the right
man there.

The salary of the Governor of Ohio
has been increased to $4,000. The bill
will meet the executive approval, for
both Democratic and Republican execu'
tives have left Columbus declaring that
the former salary $4,000 per year, vas too
small for state with the population and
wealth of Ohio, especially as the Guber-
material term is but two years. Ohio
thus puts herself in the second class in
regard to Governors salaries. Penn
syivauia and New York pay their exec
utives the best, the salary in those states
being $4,000 year, with "a year term.
Ohio aud California come next. with
salaries of $4,000, though the term of
Office in the Golden state is four years
against Ohio's two. Illinois and Ne
vada are $4,000 states, with year terms.
Indiana, Kentucky. Missouri. New Jer+
sey, Virginia and Wisconsin pay their
Governors $4,000 per annum all with
years for the term. except New jersey
with 3. and Wisconsin with 2 Among
the states which ought to pay better
salary to their executives, are Connecti-
cut, Delaware and Maine, with salaries
of $4,000 ;Oregon with salary of 1900;
and Michigan, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Vermont, which pay but
$1,000 each. These states have 2 year
terms except Rhode Island. the Cover
nor of which holds Office for but year
These short terms permit the Governors
TO return soon TO private life, if they
find their pay insufficient, and are not
satisfied with honor cf the office.-Pitts.

THE Richmond hotel at Buffalo, New
York, was destroyed by fire Friday
morning at about 3 o'clock. The hotel
contained about so guests, besides the
proprietors and and their families and
number of domestics, about 125 in all.
Many Of the guests very narrowly es
caped with their lives, and the scenes
at the fire were thrilling in the extreme.
So far as can now be learned the list of
casualties is as follows: Six dead; 81 iD-
jured, of them seriously, and missing.
It is feared IA search of the ruins will
increase the number of dead.

Senator Beck, of Kentucky. are pushing
their views before the people to the
effect that a special session of congress
will be necessary to avert serious busi

failure of the last Democratic House to
